There are two memorials both Bronze plaques with gold lettering in wooden frames that are currently located in the London Bus Museum at Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Elmbridge, They were originally housed in Walthamstow Associated Equipment Co. Ltd. (A.E.C.). According to a plaque within the museum:

The Memorial Plaque sited on the left side of this notice was almost certainly originally located in the AEC vehicle factory at Walhamstow, London E17, where the named employees who died in the Great War (retrospectively named World War 1) would have worked.

In 1925, however, AEC purchased a 59 acre site from the Earl of Jersey at Southall, Middlesex for £25,000. That site bounded by Windmill Lane, the Great Western Railway main line to Bristol and a branch line from Southall to Brentford, was used to accommodate a new vehicle factory, replacing the Walthamstow plant. The Memorial Plaque then travelled across London to the new premises, as did many of the Company's workers.

The matching second Plaque, on the right, was then produced to remember AEC's employees who were killed during World War 2.

The Southall factory was closed in 1979 and subsequently demolished. Someone had the foresight to remove the Memorial Plaques, which were then placed in a nearby social club, until offered to and accepted by this Museum in 2013.
